“ This handsomely drawn remake of the earlier 'Mickey's Pal Pluto' tells a sweet story of kindness all over again. A special card in the title sequence dedicated the film to the Tailwagger Foundation "in recognition of its work in lending a paw to man's animal friends." It's the only Mickey Mouse cartoon to ever win an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ This first recipient of the Best Animated Short Oscar is also one of the best of Disney's 75 Silly Symphonies. Nature is anthropomorphized here in a beautiful and romantic ballet of flora. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ Chip 'n Dale cause mischief when Mickey and Pluto chop down a Christmas tree that the chipmunks inhabit. The film is funny, richly animated and a wonderful way to get in to the Christmas spirit. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ Several classic cartoons contained very effective celebrity caricatures. This is the best such film from Disney. Celebrities walk the red carpet at the premier of Mickey Mouse's latest film. Disney characters mingle with uncanny likenesses of the Marx brothers, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mae West, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and many, many more. We're then rewarded with a film-within-a-film as the celebrities screen Mickey's new picture. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ The simple but unique animation in this poignant story of a boy who walks on his hands allows the viewer to enjoy the same alternative perspective of the world as the story's hero. In only five minutes, Millie Goldsholl manages to tell a beautiful story of nonconformity and tolerance, dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ The Old Mill is one of the last and finest Silly Symphonies in the series. The scenery blends with the music in a seamless and organic manner. The use of multiplane camera created unprecedented depth. The story, which takes place inside an unused mill house during a severe storm, is remarkably dark in atmosphere at points. The picture as a whole offers a truly immersive experience. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ Betty Boop defies cartoon physics as she stars opposite a live-action janitor who attempts to hypnotize her. This cartoon is evidence of the Fleischer studio creatively outperforming their peers well in to the late 1930s. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ A ticket to the Magic Kingdom is a steep admission price for this movie housed in Fantasyland, but the 3D musical spectacular is one of the best attractions in the Walt Disney World complex. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ That Walt Disney does horror so well makes the rare spooky cartoon like 'The Skeleton Dance' and 'The Mad Doctor' even more enjoyable. Here the contrast of happy-go-lucky Mickey Mouse and a madman performing evil science experiments on poor Pluto are a delightful contradiction. ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ Bugs Bunny uses comedy and cleverness to get the upper hand on a couple of bank robbing fugitives, but he's not the only funny man in this caper. This movie earns a place on my list solely because it taught me to "shut up shuttin' up!" ” - Sweet_Melissa

“ Little Audrey cartoons have a cloyingly sweet tone that is very much appreciated by my own girlish nature. The normally lighthearted, fantastical atmosphere of Little Audrey's stories makes 'Song of the Birds' all the more poignant. It is not unusual for a film to bring me to tears. It's less common with cartoon shorts, however. Yet seeing Audrey shoot a baby bird and then watch the creatures of the forest mourn him made me feel her grief and remorse as deeply as she did. It's an unexpectedly powerful piece. ” - Sweet_Melissa
